What about running a qemu cross-arch VM on amd64? It would be slow,
but should be doable? Fixing the hard-coded arch is easy if you tell
me how this looks for arm64.

I'm happy for some hints how to support fai-cd on arm64, and maybe
also cross-arch available. But I'm not sure if grub-mkstandalone can
do cross-arch.
